Anthony Branco Barreto dos Santos has been competing for a year. His best event is the 7×7: a personal-best single of 2:34.67, set at Curitiba Contra o Tempo 2026, puts him in the top 4.6% of the 14,450 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in Brazil. Until May 2015, no official 7×7 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2025, he has put 146 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 5×5 best has come down from 1:09.57 in March 2025 to 1:00.72, a 13% improvement. Anthony has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
